I first saw this show after a motorbike accident and I was at home with one leg pinned together, in pain and feeling very sorry for myself. I caught this on some random channel and just watched it for the sake of something to do. I'm so glad I did!! One show and I was hooked. Listening to Bob's unique and wonderful view of the world is so inspirational, uplifting and calming to the soul. The day he died the world got a little bit darker. Sorely missed but as long as we have this channel showing these shows, he still shines on in everyone's heart.
Same here . I had to spend a year at home after surgery back in 93 and being an active person it was driving me mad being home until I found bob 😀. He sure calmed me down and made me feel like a happy little accident 😁.
Bob has such a calm aura around him like everytime I feel stressed I just watch The Joy of Painting and it all goes away. He was a true legend. The day he died our world has lost a spark of life ;-;
Haha, I was coincidentally thinking the same thing yesterday. Like the butter was some titanium hwite with a little cadmium yellow and I was putting some snow on my toast mountain.
Today when cleaning my brush after applying wood oil to my new coffee table I just couldn't help but laugh when I think of Bob saying "Just beat the devil out of it". Funny thing is he's right, it really is a fun part of the whole process. I whack mine against an old tree, I hope Bob doesn't mind.
I've noticed in real life I have started to use 'Bobisms': "Let's do it like that, what the heck" "Two hairs and some air" "There we go... Right in there..." "Beat the devil out of it" "Automatically, automatically"
6:35 "I live in Florida, and we have some of the most gorgeous swamps there. There we go, and there's a lot of swamps all the way up into Georgia and Louisiana, all through there. Beautiful, beautiful areas, and there's so much wildlife in one of these. Every so often I drive down to the Everglades and just go out and look at all the little alligators and the birds and the egrets and all kids of little creatures that live out in there." - Bob Ross "Cypress Swamp" 1992 (Season 25 | Episode 8)
Old Bob Ross didn’t give a single a fuck about the bullshit, he was always a real positive person who saw the light through the darkness! Lighthearted and always kept it 💯💯%!
I like how the captions give wildly varying descriptions for the ending theme in each episode ("easy listening music", "upbeat guitar"), and then in this one it's just the actual song's title with composer credit.
I remember watching this one back during the Best of the Joy of Painting series that Bob announced during one of his paintings during I think it was series between series 26-28 or something like that. Oh that Martin/F. Weber company ad brings back a lot of memories.
I wonder if we still had Bob with us, if would prefer acrylic paints these days. They’ve come along way and would seem perfectly suited to this technique.
I love that comment about "beating that brush in the livin room"... "Chances are your spouse is gonna kill ya!"🤣🤣 That comment was so un- Bob Ross-like ! 🤣 Gotta love that man ❤️
i thought we'd start off with the ol two inch brush...and just begin tapping the ptahlo blue...a very transparent and pretty color...and we want a nice even distribution of color on the bristles. Remember, a little goes a lonnnng way here.
16:16 "When I was just a child I used to have an alligator for a pet. I worked for a, years and years ago, I worked for a store one year at Christmas, and instead of paying me money, was only about 10 years old, they gave me several exotic pets, and one of them was an alligator, and he was only about a foot long when they gave him to me, I'll never forget. I took that rascal home and I wasn't real popular with my mother when I dumped him out on the living room floor out of a big old bag, but she let me keep him. And kept him for maybe probably about a year, year and a half, and he grew to probably close to 2-1/2 to 3 feet long but he got mean. I don't think you can make a pet out of an alligator, so I took him down to one of the local lakes and turned him loose, I'm going to make a big tree, and chances are he's still there today. Shoot by now, he's probably huge. He's probably scaring swimmers to death." - Bob Ross "Cypress Swamp" 1992 (Season 25 Episode 8)
